[Daily Caller] During a Democratic-led filibuster Wednesday, Florida Sen. Bill Nelson claimed that the terrorist attack in Orlando was "very likely anti-Hispanic" because most of the victims had "Hispanic surnames."
"My home is in Orlando. I was there right after the shooting," Nelson said. "As I suspected at the time that this was going to be a combination of ISIS inspired, you know a hate crime, anti-gay and very likely anti-Hispanic because 44 of the 49 had Hispanic surnames."
According to a survivor of the Orlando terror attack, the shooter Omar Mateen spared black clubgoers. "Are you guys black?" the survivor said Mateen asked as he made his way through Pulse nightclub.
